Paylocity reviews

Becoming more corporate and less employee-oriented by the day. Keeps making large company decisions, like bringing in contractors (from terrible contract companies that treat their employees like garbage), expanding to other countries so they can get cheap labor, and changing health benefits without any employee feedback. Not that they'd listen to the feedback anyways... There seems to be a new executive every few months that does who-knows-what and gets paid 4x the average head engineer. Keeps hiring management and higher-up engineers that try and change the once-good employee culture into something more stressful and fast-paced, and the company at large doesn't really care because hey, that makes them more money. There's an all-around sense of dread and despair, at least in the engineering part of the company, and a lot of long-term employees have already jumped ship.

Culture has deteriorated significantly in the past 2 years. The company forces people signed on as hybrid to be in-office 5 days per week but then threaten the culture crew for pushing for a Christmas party citing COVID safety for DECEMBER 2024. Company's flagship claim is that they never do layoffs. Instead, they brought an entire position group into a meeting on a random Tuesday and let them know they have a couple months to find different jobs internally or leave when hiring is at a near-standstill. The company has more or less froze internal hiring outside of filling in where people leave/are promoted. "Growth fuels opportunity" and when we incorrectly project growth, the opportunity goes away. DO NOT come here into an entry role expecting to be able to grow into management, those days have passed. Budget-tightening by upper management for everyone but upper management.
